First time into Lime Creek so it was good to check out a new area. From the dirt road we hiked up and over the saddle to begin the descent into Lime Creek. Where the trail hits the creek there was good flow which continued for awhile as we hiked upstream. But eventually the creek goes dry heading to the cabin. Near the cabin there was fair amount of water coming from Lime Spring. We climbed up the hill above to see the source. We didn’t quite make the source but surprised to see how much water was flowing down the hill. Passing the cabin we hiked over to the petroglyph panel and checked that out. Then back to the cabin for lunch break. After lunch we hiked back out the same way. Only issue we had was the wind on the way out. Seemed like hurricane force winds on the saddle so we moved quickly back to the vehicle. Otherwise good hike into Lime Creek.
